§ 22-2-111 — Employees time off to vote

(a) Any person entitled to vote at any primary or general
election or special election to fill a vacancy in the office of
representatives in the congress of the United States is, on the
day of such election, entitled to absent himself from any
service or employment in which he is then engaged or employed
for a period of one (1) hour, other than meal hours, the hour
being at the convenience of the employer, between the time of
opening and closing of the polls. Such elector shall not,
because of so absenting himself, lose any pay, providing he
actually casts his legal vote.
(b) This section shall not apply to an employee who has
three (3) or more consecutive nonworking hours during the time
the polls are open.
